#CHAPELLESUMMER. As some of you might know, I'm a regular contributor at Chapelle Magazine, an independent online fashion magazine 100% made in Valencia and where I have the pleasure to review fashion shows, talk about fashion and architecture or trends every three months. I'm very proud on taking part on this project, not only because their founders (Eduardo, Natalia and Beatriz) have become true fashion colleagues, but also because Chapelle Magazine is one of the most important independent fashion publications at the city right now, giving the opportunity to young and emergent designers to feature their creations and to reach more people interested on their designs.

As last week, I was invited to one of the most iconic and modern places in Valencia which is L'Umbracle, a partially covered garden turned into a terrace and summer lounge bar where I had the pleasure on covering the Barreira A+D School fashion show last week. This time I came not only as a blogger to tell you all what happened there, but also as a contributor, friend and kind of assistant on the previous backstage. I will tell you about that, about what happens behind (and before) the show on another post (because the first thing you should see is the final result, like when Cinderella attended the ball) but I can tell you there were nerves, there were plenty of mishaps and everything happened on a rush.

As it was the launch of the new Summer issue, we had the chance to see some swimwear collections of designers featured at the new number and even a dance performance by dance crew DSM5. Eve Angel Suit, Moisés Prats, Isabel Akkin, Anna Vicent, Nathnit, Montag73 and E. Jairycovich were the ones in charge to add fashion and style to the night with their collections of bikinis, swimsuits (both for men and women), beach wraps and accessories. Their designs were as fresh as ever when talking about young designers, and the night was as fun and bright as I thought it would be. Congratulations!
